The Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund (ACIDF) is an independent, not-for-profit company operating under the direction of the crop industry.
The Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund (ACIDF) welcomes proposals from individuals and organizations in the agriculture and food industries to meet priorities within our strategic goals:
1. Increased capability of farmers to manage risk
2. Increased value-chains, new business and markets
3. Increased diversification in the crop sector
4. Improved crop research capacity
5. Increased consumer confidence in food production
Priority is given to industry development projects with a strong market focus, that increase the competitiveness of Alberta farmers through such avenues as leadership, research, innovation, training and marketing initiatives. Preference is given to projects in Alberta or directly associated with expanding Alberta's market opportunities. ACIDF grants typically range from $10,000 to $200,000 over the life of the project.
Applications are encouraged from:
- Industry associations and groups
- Government organizations and agencies
- Universities, colleges, research institutions and applied research associations
